(Get the code!)
Would it not be possible to prompt a user to install the patch the moment they decide to move the panel to a vertical position?
At each time a new user experiences this bug enough to be able to find details about it (let's face it, it's not very clear why the machine hangs - and only after it has occurred enough might a user guess where the problem lies), they will be very disappointed to learn how old it is.
I know this isn't the place to vent any frustration, but frankly I am getting tired with Ubuntu's relentless 'progress' (well, the implementation of many vista-like "Are you sure you're sure?" dialogs) rather than fixing the mess made by two releases a year. Having seen several bugs die with the discontinuation of support for previous versions, I'm not so sure that there are sufficient resources to achieve a single bug-free distro.
